By the Court,
Norcross, J.:This was an action brought by respondent'in the First Judicial District Court, in and for Ormsby County, to foreclose a chattel mortgage upon a stock of merchandise in Carson City. A judgment was entered in favor of respondent. The notice of appeal, appearing among the papers sent up from the court below, states that the appeal is taken from the judgment, and decree rendered in favor of the plaintiff, and against said defendant H. Harris, trustee, "and also from the order entered in said district court in said action on the 10th day of June, 1905, denying said defendant H. Harris’s (trustee’s) motion for a new trial.”
The record on appeal in this cause was filed in this court on the 7th day of September, 1905. By consent of counsel the cask came on for oral argument before this court on the 23d day of April, 1907, and thereafter time was taken to file briefs in addition to those previously filed. At the time of the oral argument counsel for respondent made and filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, and to strike out all the papers filed therein upon the following grounds: "First, that there is no record whatever in said case before the supreme court, none having been certified to this court by the clerk of the lower court; second, that the papers, documents, and exhibits *150that were used on the motion for a new trial in the lower court have not been certified to by the judge of the lower court, nor by the clerk thereof, as having been used upon said motion for a new trial, nor have the same or. any of them been certified to this court by the clerk of the district court; third, that there is no notice of appeal or undertaking on appeal in this case, and the same have not been certified to this court if any exists; fourth, there is no record of any kind or character before the court or certified to thiS court upon which this court can base any action or opinion or judgment; fifth, there is no stipulation of the attorneys or agreement of the attorneys sending up or submitting said appeal to the supreme court.” The motion to dismiss and to strike out was heard, subject to the objection of counsel for appellant that the motion was not made in accordance with the rules of this court.
Eule 8 of this court provides: "Exceptions or. objections to the transcript, statement, the undertaking on appeal, notice of appeal, or to its service or proof of service, or any technical exception or objection to the record affecting the right of the appellant to be heard on the points of error assigned, which might be cured on suggestion of diminution of the record, must be taken at the first term after the transcript is filed, and must be noted in the written or the printed points of the respondent, and filed at least one day before the argument, or they will not be regarded.” (30 Nev. 11, 12.)
Had the motion been made' in accordance with the provisions of the rule, we would have been compelled to grant it, unless application had been made to correct the transcript as provided for in Eule 7, for the transcript upon appeal in this case shows little pretense of complying with either the statutes or rules of this court governing the same. As the motion was not made in accordance with the provisions of the rule quoted, the respondent is deemed to have waived objections to the transcript that are not jurisdictional. The record in this case is in a more objectionable condition than that in the case of Linville v. Scheeline (recently decided by this court), 30 Nev. 106. Eeferring to the transcript in the latter ease, we took occasion to say: "It is a serious question *151whether appeals presenting transcripts of this character ought not to be dismissed without consideration, or else the appellant be required to reform his record before it would be considered.” The record in this ease is made up of the original papers from the court below. "An act regulating appeals to the supreme court” approved March 13,1895 (Comp. Laws, 3862-3863), leaves it in the discretion of the appellant to have the original papers sent up. Section 1 of the act provides, among other things, that, "in case he shall elect to have the original papers certified they shall be attached together and the pages numbered and indexed the same as transcripts on appeal, and shall be certified by the clerk of the district court or by the respective parties or their attorneys to be such originals, and to constitute in whole or in part the record on appeal, and the clerk shall then transmit them to the clerk of the supreme court; provided, that where it would not be convenient to attach maps or exhibits to the other papers, they may be sent separately, properly identified and certified:’ In this case the papers are neither attached together, numbered, nor indexed. It would seem that the clerk had bundled up all the papers filed in the lower court and sent them to the clerk of this court. Many of the papers have no proper place in this record upon appeal, even if the record was otherwise unobjectionable. The only certificate oí clerk in the so-called record is upon a separate sheet of paper, and was never attached to anything. It is manifest that this is not a proper certificate. (Holmes v. Iowa Mining Co., 23 Nev. 23.) It may be contended that it was the fault of the clerk in sending up a record of this kind; but, even if that be so in the strict sense of the law, nevertheless it would be better for counsel to see that clerks send up proper transcripts. While we are referring to the provisions of this act we deem it expedient to say that the conditions which occasioned the passage of this act, authorizing the bringing up of original papers, have ceased to exist, and that an early repeal of the act will be advantageous, not only to this court, but to counsel and litigants.
" The method of procedure in taking appeals is regulated by statute. Section 327 of the civil practice act (Comp. *152Laws, 3422) in direct terms confers authority. upon this court to review judgments and orders from which appeals can be taken in the manner prescribed by the act,' and not otherwise.’” (Marx v. Lewis, 24 Nev. 306.) Section 336 of the civil practice act (Comp. Laws, 3431) provides: "Acopy of the statement shall be annexed to a copy of the judgment roll, if the appeal be from the judgment; if the appeal be from an order, to a copy of such order.” An examination of the papers appearing to have been sent up in this case fails to disclose any order in reference to the motion for a new trial or a copy thereof, nor does the certificate of the clerk mention any such order. So far as the record shows there may never have been such an order made. In the case of Kalmes v. Gerrish, 7 Nev. 31-35, this court, by Garber, J., said: "The appeal purports to be from the judgment, and from an order overruling the motion for a new trial. The record fails to show that the motion has yet been disposed of, or acted upon, by the district court. .The appeal from the order is therefore premature, and is dismissed.”
While counsel by failing to interpose a proper objection to the record may waive all technical objections-thereto, they cannot waive the essentials of a record necessary to give this court jurisdiction, such as the entire absence of an order overruling a motion for new trial, if such order were ever made. (Corbett v. Job, 5 Nev. 201; Irwin v. Sampson, 10 Nev. 282; Greeley v. Holland, 14 Nev. 320; Marx v. Lewis, 24 Nev. 306; Hart v. Spencer, 29 Nev. 286.) As was said by this court in Sherman v. Shaw, 9 Nev. 152, "it is as unsatisfactory to the court as it is to counsel and litigants to have cases disposed of upon mere questions of practice. But it must be remembered that the rules of practice are as obligatory upon us as upon the parties to a suit; and, if attorneys desire to have their cases examined upon the merits, they must comply with the plain provisions of the statute and the rules of practice, as established by the court.” In this case counsel have at great labor prepared and filed exhaustive briefs upon the merits, and it is especially regrettable that the record is not in such shape to empower this court to determine the questions so ably presented. *153The record does not contain a stipulation of counsel that the statement on motion for a new trial may be considered also as a statement on appeal. The statement appears to have ' been filed exclusively as a statement on motion for a new trial. This court has repeatedly held that such a statement, in the absence of stipulation of counsel, cannot be considered as a statement on appeal. (Williams v. Rice, 13 Nev. 234; Nesbitt v. Chisholm, 16 Nev. 39; Robinson v. Benson, 19 Nev. 331.)
While the judgment roll in this case contains papers not authorized to be included therein, it does contain all the essentials. Although it is not certified to otherwise than as hereinbefore stated, in the absence of proper objection, it may be conceded as being before us for consideration. Where there is nothing before the court but the judgment roll, we can only consider any alleged errors which may appear upon the face thereof. In the present case we find no error so appearing, and it becomes our duty to affirm the •judgment, and it is so ordered.
